Oh, I totally do! I am a "painted" girl. I will have painted cabinets, not stained and I love the idea of floors like that. Got a pic?

Well, I went with the Brazillian Teak Cumura- I loooooove it. They have huge samples so I was really able to see what it would look like..not just a little piece. Its not stained - it is the color of the actaul tree- and its supposedly extremely hard. So w/ young ones like me - it would be perfect. The color has NO red in it- and it does have variation which is what these exotic woods are generally known for- Its really what I wanted- a walnut-y brown/some golden undertones and some milk chocolate-y tones. Funny, but I thought I would hate the variation but I love it now and Dh usually doesnt care about things like this but he loved it. And whats nice about the variation is that it all blends so well into eachother. It was more money - which sucks but well, is is what it is. Delivery is Thursday morning and then I have to wait 3 days for the wood to get used to the temperature of the house lol- Happy with my decision- thanks for help- Im glad I didnt go with the cherry!
Sounds very pretty! Love to see a pic when it is done!
Congrats Anna! Nice choice with the teak.
We had Brazilian Teak wood floors in our house in NY and we loved loved loved them!!!
OMG Micheala I am sooooooooooooo happy I went with the teak - I LOVE your kitchen !!!! Thanks a bunch for posting that pic
I love painted cabinets. That will be so fun. Sorry- I think I am confusing with all my rambling. I wasn't talking Painted floors ( I will try to find a pic of that tho and post just for fun). Is that what you thought NBP? I was talking about the light white washed wood looking so nice with dark painted walls. The dark walls looked great against the light floors and grounded the space.Quote:
